this was a kind of test comic I did months ago that's been sitting my my drafts! and now I'm freeing it

the story (historical fiction, unrestrained violence against occupation forces, cultural trauma-horror, gritty folk heroes, some real fucked up basements) requires a lot of pretty heavy duty research that's probably gonna take awhile to finish doing, but it also is pretty action heavy. hopefully. in my heart, it's action heavy, which is also a whole visual language to learn and style to figure out and I've mostly been a melodrama genre kind of artist.

this one was drawn pretty early in the journey! lots of scribbling while I tried to pin down the vibe I was imagining and also just running through every monoline pen I've ever downloaded to see what clicked lmao

When I was a kid, my dad used to cut out newspaper articles of topics he thought pertained to my interests (neuroscience and China mostly) and then he would mail them to me with no note. Every once in a while I would receive an envelope with an assortment of newspaper clippings from the five newspapers he reads a day.

And as I sit here sending star trek memes and mourning dove pics to friend 1, and knitting memes and terrible puns to friend 2, and sexy radishes to friend 3, never with any explanation or even an expectation of acknowledgement of receipt, I have to reckon with some hard truths about the person I have grown into and how it relates to my parenting.

“Washington Huskies Owe Title to Syracuse ... Claim of Foul Is Never Pressed”

Syracuse Herald (Syracuse, New York)

Syracuse University’s crew was a victim of an emergency measure by Washington in the 1936 regatta at Poughkeepsie, which might have brought about disqualification of the Huskies, as race winners, if Syracuse had pressed a claim of foul.

The New Yorker tells the story in a tribute to Robert G. "Bob" Moch, Washington coxswain.

…

"He told us the story of how Syracuse helped Washington win the Poughkeepsie race, thus putting Washington in fine fettle for the Olympic trials. Seems that in the No.7 lane at Poughkeepsie there is an eddy along about the three-mile mark, created by a projecting abutment of a bridge. Ulbrickson, the Washington coach, was horrified when his crew drew the seventh lane, and instructed Moch to steer over into the sixta lane, which was Syracuse's, and avold the eddy. Moch gradually began inching over, and before the bridge was reached was right in Syracuse's lage, the Syracuse oars almost ticking Washington's.”

"The Syracuse coxswain bawled at Moch to get over, and so did the referee, but Washington just kept on going, and finally pulled ahead of Syracuse. They went under the bridge in Syracuse's lane, and won the race by a length. 'If you get in that eddy you lose two or three lengths sure, Moch told us. That means we'd have lost the race.' The Syracuse coxswain was all for reporting these goings-on and claiming a foul, but the Syracuse stroke—‘a fine fellow,’ Moch says earnestly—good-naturedly persuaded him not to.”

"So now all the Washingtons think the Syracusans are great."

Another wonderful scan sent to me by Harold on Twitter (X). Forever grateful for all the scans he has sent to me this year, I’ll forever treasure them, they mean a lot to me!!

Daily Sketch, october 21st 1966.

Beatle Girl Jane says ‘no’ to film with Elvis.

Jane Asher girlfriend of beatle Paul McCartney, has turned down the chance to star opposite Elvis Presley.

The offer came from Hollywood producer Hal Wallis, who has made all the Presley’s films.

But 19-year-old Jane who recently made a big hit in the Michael Caine film, Alfie, told him: “No, I am afraid I can not take part in the film.”

She wants to remain in straight theatre for another two years, before going into full time film career. A spokesman for Jane said last night: “she did not want to commit herself.”

I think it might be a little mistake in the article as Jane was 20 in 1966, or maybe in april!
